• Abstract: In this paper, we address the nature of spacetime in quantum gravity in light of a new version of the holographic principle that has established a relationship between string theory and polymer holonomy structures similar to Loop Quantum Cosmology spin networks. In front of the results found out, it is possible to argue that, for such a relationship to work, spacetime must be seen as emergent from a fundamental structure whose degrees of freedom correspond to quantum correlations only.

  We investigate the emergence of quantum coherence and quantum correlations in a two-particle system with deformed symmetries arising from the quantum nature of spacetime.<n>Our analysis reveals that while the openness of quantum spacetime ultimately degrades entanglement, it also facilitates the creation and preservation of both classical and quantum correlations.

  We study the appearance of fermion condensates for self-interacting Dirac fermions. We show that the combined breakdown of time-reversal symmetry due to the expanding spacetime, and parity due to a pseudo-scalar condensate, manifest through the structure of the light-cone-like propagation of entanglement in this analogue cQFT.

• Does Quantum Information Require Additional Structure? [0.0]
  We introduce the hypothesis of quantum space of directly unobserved relations, which precede quantum correlations, and are compatible with the Reichenbach common cause principle. We present the Chyli'nski model as an example of quantum relational space continuum, which predicts potentially measurable effects for the bound states.

• Entropy production due to spacetime fluctuations [0.0]
  We consider a non-relativistic quantum system interacting with gravitational waves. We employ the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics to define a fluctuation relation for this system. As a result, thermodynamic entropy must be produced in the system due to its unavoidable interaction with the quantum fluctuations of spacetime.

  We build an explicit quantum operator that can map states describing a quantum field on a superposition of spacetimes to states representing a quantum field with a superposition of masses on a Minkowski background. It can be used to import the phenomenon of particle production in curved spacetime to its conformally equivalent counterpart, thus revealing new features in modified Minkowski spacetime.

• Spacetime effects on wavepackets of coherent light [24.587462517914865]
  We introduce an operational way to distinguish between the overall shift in the pulse wavepacket and its genuine deformation after propagation. We then apply our technique to quantum states of photons that are coherent in the frequency degree of freedom. We find that the quantum coherence initially present can enhance the deformation induced by propagation in a curved background.

• Spacetime Quantum Actions [0.0]
  We propose a formulation of quantum mechanics in an extended Fock space in which a tensor product structure is applied to time. Subspaces of histories consistent with the dynamics of a particular theory are defined by a direct quantum generalization of the corresponding classical action. The diagonalization of such quantum actions enables us to recover the predictions of conventional quantum mechanics and reveals an extended unitary equivalence between all physical theories.

• Observing Movement of Dirac Cones from Single-Photon Dynamics [11.724015908522885]
  Graphene with honeycomb structure, being critically important in understanding physics of matter, exhibits exceptionally unusual half-integer quantum Hall effect. These peculiar physics arise from the unique properties of Dirac cones which show high hole degeneracy, massless charge carriers and linear intersection of bands. Here, we demonstrate a direct observation of the movement of Dirac cones from single-photon dynamics in photonic graphene under different biaxial strains.
